At 9:51 a.m., several fights broke out among groups of inmates on the B Facility yard. Correctional officers used less-than-lethal options including pepper spray, chemical agents, and direct impact rounds to quickly stop the fights and bring the incidents under control.

So far, 10 inmates have been taken by ambulance to outside hospitals for treatment of stab wounds. KVSP staff are assessing the involved inmates for injuries.

Investigators with KVSP’s Investigative Services Unit are investigating the incident.
